1) Summary: CFTC + DeFi

Name: Sam Reynolds Forkast News

Media Outlet: Forkast News

Deadline: 1:00 AM EST - 13 November

Query:

Hello,

In a recent interview with CoinDesk, CFTC Chairman said they
"might" have their eyes on DeFi products and exchanges that are
not compliant with US laws.

However, a recent FOIA I got back from the CFTC says this isn't
on their radar at all.

So I'm wondering why would the CFTC be taking a slow approach to
this? Would they be waiting for more regulatory guidance?

Requirements:

Lawyer familiar with the CFTC, blockchain, or securities
